How to Donate

As a public charity, the Foundation can receive donations which in turn are tax deductible according to the rules set by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Donations need to be in alignment with the mission of the Foundation:

The Foundation for Community Health’s mission is to maintain and improve the physical and mental health of the residents of the area historically served by Sharon Hospital with an emphasis on serving those most vulnerable.

Specific ideas for contributions include:

• The FCH Prescription Assistance Fund: Provides direct aid to individuals and families to cover prescription costs.
• The Medical Education Fund: Identifies topics and organizes medical education opportunities on a variety of health topics which directly impact FCH’s communities.
• General Fund: Supports overall efforts of the Foundation to assess community health needs, to engage the public and local organizations in identifying and solving health issues, to bring expertise and information regarding evidence-based programs to the area, and to evaluate its work.

Please contact Nancy Heaton, the Executive Director, by phone at (860)364-5157 or by email if you are interested in learning more about donating to the Foundation, setting up a donor fund, or leaving a legacy which will enable us to continue our efforts at improving the health and wellbeing of the people in our communities far into the future.
